Healing Doctor

Chapter 761 Seniority and Hierarchy

This is... so incredibly tactless," Director Liu thought helplessly.

It was probably because Wei Fusi had drunk a bit too much. He wasn't a good drinker, so Director Liu had another reason to reject any further contact with Wei Fusi.

Zhou Tianbo was also helpless, and he sighed.

There was no way to persuade him; he knew exactly what Wei Fusi was like.

So they had no choice but to go to the hospital together.

Director Liu sent several messages to General Manager Wu, reminding him not to let anything slip.

I will avoid contact with Wei Fusi in the future, but I absolutely must not confront him directly.

There's absolutely no need to do that.

Upon arriving at the ICU, General Manager Wu was squatting at the door waiting. As soon as the director arrived, he immediately went up to him to report on the patient's condition.

Director Liu had a gloomy face.

In the middle of the night, I was forced to rush to the hospital for emergency treatment, and I also had to bring along someone like Wei Fusi. It's really annoying.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

"Xiao Ji is here too!" Director Liu saw Ji Xiang as soon as he entered the ICU.

"Director Liu, what brings you here?" Ji Xiang had just come out of the operating room and was taken aback when he saw Director Liu come in.

Director Liu smiled wryly, offered no explanation, and went directly to the patient's bedside to check on him.

He didn't even introduce Wei Fusi to Ji Xiang.

There are countless experts like this in China. Director Liu believes that Ji Xiang's current level is no lower than Wei Fusi's; he is just young and lacks experience.

Introducing Wei Fusi to Ji Xiang would only make him offend more people.

Xiao Ji seems kind, but in reality... well, Qin Chu in Shanghai got roasted like a dog.

After taking the patient's medical history, reviewing the lab reports, and consulting with the ICU resident and attending professor, Director Liu said, "It's a very simple hemolytic reaction after a blood transfusion. It looks like things are probably not going well."

The patient had very low blood pressure, coupled with severe multiple organ failure, and anyone who has treated similar patients knows that the situation is not optimistic.

"What a pity," Wei Fusi said softly.

As soon as Zhou Tianbo heard Wei Fusi open his mouth to speak, he quickly nudged him with his shoulder, making Wei Fusi swallow the rest of his words.

There are some things you can think about, but you should never say them out loud.

Wei Fusi was obsessed with the surgery, and with a bit of alcohol on his hands, he became unrestrained in his speech.

Zhou Tianbo also felt uncomfortable. It seemed he should have less contact with Wei Fusi in the future, and at the very least, he should avoid being with him after he had been drinking.

"Director, it's just in time that you've arrived. I suggest we do a kidney biopsy," Ji Xiang said.

"Kidney biopsy? His hematuria has nothing to do with the biopsy." Director Liu replied with a smile. He looked at Ji Xiang, "I know you're anxious, but the patient's condition is clear: a kidney biopsy is pointless."

"Doctor, a kidney biopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis..."

Before Ji Xiang could finish his sentence, Wei Fusi sneered, "A young doctor, why does he talk so much!"

Zhou Tianbo quickly grabbed Wei Fusi.

"Why are you pulling me? You're just a resident doctor. You think you can just do whatever the head doctor says? Don't you have any sense of respect?"

Zhou Tianbo complained bitterly.

Director Liu frowned slightly, but he didn't hesitate at all.

"Okay, I... I just had a drink. Let Mr. Wu do it, I'll watch from the side. As for the kidney biopsy, I'll call the head of the lab and have someone do it right away."

The ICU residents and professors were stunned. Director Liu had actually woken up the head of the laboratory department in the middle of the night to arrange for tests.

Their thoughts were the same as Wei Fusi's, but no one expected that Director Liu would spoil Ji Xiang so much.

It's a treasure that you absolutely mustn't touch.

Moreover, they clearly realized that Director Liu originally didn't want to do it, thinking it was unnecessary. But Wei Fusi's words stirred up Director Liu's protective instincts.

Is it really appropriate to do this?

"Doctor, what will we be checking in the kidney biopsy?" the ICU professor asked in a low voice.

Director Liu looked at Ji Xiang.

"A kidney biopsy is an invasive procedure. The patient is already in this state, is it still necessary?" Wei Fusi muttered.

Zhou Tianbo tried to stop him, but to no avail.

"That's right, the patient's acute hemolytic reaction was too severe. In similar cases, I suspect there might be a problem with the blood type used for the transfusion."

Xu Leyu was standing quietly to the side, not bothering anyone, when he suddenly heard Ji Xiang's words and almost fell to the ground.

I didn't offend Ji Xiang, so why is he trying to pin this on me?

"We checked the blood transfusion report several times, there's no problem," the ICU resident explained with a forced smile.

"It's not our problem. I suspect the patient has lupus, and the allergic reaction caused an error in the blood type test."

"???"

"???"

Many doctors had a bunch of question marks popping up in their heads.

"Isn't that bullshit?" Wei Fusi, fueled by the alcohol, got angry at Ji Xiang for "talking nonsense" and started to mock him.

"You're a resident physician, who's your superior? Which doctor's wife taught you?"

"I am a resident physician," Ji Xiang replied politely.

Wei Fusi was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Resident physician?

Resident physician!

What kind of resident physician is so arrogant that they dare to stand in the ICU and spout nonsense during emergency care?

The claim that lupus caused an incorrect blood type test is incredibly unreliable!

"I see." Director Liu pondered for a moment, then beckoned, "Have the patient's family members been found?"

The medical record says "unknown," which clearly means that the patient came to the hospital without any family members with him.

"Found it, but it hasn't arrived yet."

"Give me the phone." Director Liu didn't take his own cell phone, but instead used the ICU's phone to dial the patient's family's contact information.

There are so many telecom frauds these days. If you call any random phone number and the other party doesn't hang up, you're considered polite.

The department's phone number is more reliable and trustworthy.

"Hello, I am Liu Zhi, the director of the Department of Urology at the Second Affiliated Hospital." Director Liu introduced himself first.

"Drive carefully over there, I'd like to ask you something."

Does the patient have a history of lupus?

"No."

Director Liu looked slightly disappointed, and he lowered his head slightly.

"Are you all this nice to resident trainees?" Wei Fusi said disdainfully.

"..." Zhou Tianbo was speechless.

"If this were in my area, if a resident physician said even one extra word, I'd slap him so hard he'd stick the slap to the wall."

"Old Wei, say less. My boss thinks highly of Dr. Ji; they've even participated in the rescue of critically burned patients together," Zhou Tianbo advised.

Wei Fusi didn't know how reliable Ji Xiang was, but Zhou Tianbo did.

"Old Gu...hey. Just a junior resident trainee!"

"He ranked first in the national professional medical examination last year."

"!!!" Wei Fusi was stunned. "The one who got a perfect score and ranked first in the country?"

"Yes."

"That won't do either. This is too arrogant. Lupus! The patient's family said there's no history of it." Although Wei Fusi was still being sarcastic, his voice and tone had softened considerably.

"There's no history of lupus, so do you know the patient's blood type?" Director Liu thought for a moment and continued to ask.
